Subject Re: 10.3 Source editor - sssllloooowwwwwww From Ness Stephens <nessstephens@gmail.com> Date Tue, 27 Sep 2016 12:21:18 +1300 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Hi David          I upgraded to dBase 9 long ago . I gave up on using it because the source editor was hopeless (being slow was one of the problems) and the form and report designers had major bugs. I was hoping that these basic problems were solved in dbase 10 but it seems not. I also would like to support dBase but not until these basic tools are fixed up.                       Ness On 26/09/2016 1:23 p.m., David Ball wrote: > Hi everyone > > I finally upgraded to dBASE 10 about 3 weeks ago.
